Maybe, when you get to a certain point of affluence, marriage become just another contract. For sure, behind that “whirlwind” romance-slash-circus they’re projecting for the populace, there are tons and tons of paperwork involved, including the almighty pre-nup.

The family code’s opting for absolute community of property as the default merger plan is a statistic and economic personal disaster waiting to happen. It states that after the merger, I mean, the marriage, you no longer own personal properties; the new juridical entity know as “Mr & Mrs” now own everything.

Partnership of gains is more to my liking; it states that your assets when you were single are still your own, and only profits coming out of the marriage, and properties donated to the partnership, are considered as mutual property.
